During the May Day holiday, Xiao Pi returned to Yichang. Yesterday, before he returned to his place of work, he made a special appointment with Elk Road to have dinner with me.
Xiao Pi is a high school classmate of me and Elk Road, and we are mutual friends. The last time we met him was last winter, half a year after that.
To be honest, he was one of my very special friends of the opposite sex.
On the one hand, I was angry with him countless times. In the past few years, many times I send circles of friends, and his reply that seems to be unable to read the air will make me angry.
For example, when you lament how unlucky and angry you are, he will always misinterpret your original intentions and even say that he envies you.
Of course, not only me, but also some of our mutual friends, are more or less angry because of his inappropriate comments.
Some friends did not scold him for this as a "dog bloody head", and I swore to myself countless times that as long as he commented again when I was angry, I would definitely condemn him fiercely.
In fact, with my personality, according to the reason, I can't tolerate people in my circle of friends who have blocked me. After all, two of my former friends have already been blocked by my deletion. (One is too arrogant to pretend, one is looking for me and my friend to borrow money and trying to borrow money and sneering at my friend)
However, no matter how many times I and other mutual friends complained about trying to delete the small skin, we finally gave him great tolerance.
If you had to ask me why, I'd like to borrow the signature of my former editor-in-chief's personality: "But sincerity is the greatest skill." ”
Yes, The little skin is too sincere.
Our friends can really feel that his words that make us uncomfortable are really unintentional. He doesn't have yin and yang weirdness, no schadenfreude, no falling into the well, he just sometimes, not quite the same frequency as our understanding.
So, we say it all, but no one has really left him.
I remember when I was in high school, every weekend, he would buy a lot of food to take back to school. He always generously distributed fruit to us, and sometimes he finished the banana apple and the like, and he didn't have it himself.
We didn't say to him less, good intentions to receive, grapes and other fruits, everyone take two to eat sweets, the kind of fruit that is not much, let him keep himself to eat, don't divide.
But at that time, he had some pit people around him, and he only wanted to take advantage of him. They are all classmates, it is not easy to say, for this we have not hinted at him, but he is still, let us be anxious and angry.
In fact, blame blame, anger to anger, we are more worried about him. Worrying about him is always sincere, worrying that he will be hurt. Leaving aside his occasional lack of ability to speak, in fact, his background is pure sincerity.
But now that I think about it, maybe sincerity is the greatest skill. Because of sincerity, he will also attract those who see his sincerity and are willing to be sincere with him.
Just like after many years, those who used to benefit from him have disappeared from his life, leaving behind those of us who are willing to treat him with sincerity.
Last night, Elk Road, me, and Xiao Pi, ate hot pot together, and talked about a lot of high school memories at the table. At that moment, it was like going back seven or eight years, in a trance, I felt like we were in the school cafeteria.
Walk through the door of memories, and the past will be vividly remembered. At that moment, I was really glad that I had not really vented my anger to Xiaopi because of my emotions.
Compared with the laughter, the occasional speechlessness and anger are not worth mentioning at all.
I don't know if Xiao Pi will see this article, what he doesn't know is that because of his inappropriate comments, our common female friends, privately did not complain, saying that he was speechless by his comments.
But more than that, we were worried that he cared about him. Before I blocked a certain former friend, widely cast a net everywhere to borrow money and do not pay back, a few of us girls exchange information, the most worried is afraid of Xiao Pi two words do not say to lend out, worried that his money will not go back.
After eating the hot pot last night, after the end of the show, I stood on the side of the road with Elk Road, watching the taxi on the small skin leave before embarking on the way home.
On the way, I said to Elk, "He's really amazing." With my personality, if there is a popularity to me so many times, then what awaits him is definitely black. But he's different, he's too sincere, so I have other people, angry, more for his sake. ”
Seven years after graduating from high school, under the beating of society, everyone has changed a lot, but it seems that every time I meet with Xiao Pi and talk about the past, I can really find such a moment of escape from the present.
So, thank you for his sincerity, thank you for the innocence that he still retains.
I've always felt that what makes "slow" special is that it presents my life as an ordinary person. My life is different from your life, but it is not very different, and behind the difference, there is a huge similarity.
Every day, in our own way, we spend the 24 hours that belong to us. Behind every ordinary life, there is a real you and me.
Inspired by a friend, I wanted to open up a self-reserved area at the end of the article, so that you can see you here.
